Good evening community.
 
iam new and from Germany. So pls excused my grammar.
So my newest project calls Adobe X Portfolio.
 
But now, i reached my limit.
I created a portfolio and tried to fill them automatically. However, it works fine.
 
Now i´ll fill a Portfolio subfolder of a portfolio template automatically but i can´t respond the subfolder calls TEST.
 
I filled it manually with Acrobat Pro and tried to find any answeres on the low level with Notepad++. No result.
 
Can anyone tell me, how can i reach a subfolder in a pdf portfolio?
 
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards

What are you using to populate the Portfolio automatically?

Hi Joel,

i use itext and found a solution.
It´s possible to fill the subfolder. You have to understand the LowLevel format of a pdf.

But i´ve a new problem. The preview function is disabled and the intern open function too after the implement routine.

Strangely only after filling the subfolder directly. Filling the firstlevel automatically, all functions are enabled.

I´ll post my solution immediately after it works well.
Maybe you can help me to solve my problem above.

Framework: iText Java not C#.

Thanks anew.
Bg

A link to the PDF file will work. I don't know iText so your source code would be meaningless to me.

We did a lot of work in Acrobat to make folders "appear" to be easy to create and hierarchical but, as you've probably seen, they are not. The PDF format to cause a Portfolio navigator to render folders is non-trivial.

That´s right.

The problem is, that i can´t fill the portfolio with some attributes on the file well.
But when i fill it with drag and drop in Acrobat, Acrobat will create a attribute tree itself.

Filling the same folder with the same (example: image) again, the image use the created tree and have set all attributes. But if you fill it with a new image, the existing tree is not in use.

You're just missing a reference somewhere... like I said, it's non-trivial.
